    there are multiple times where characters having a frank discussion would have led to a different path for everyone.

    This has been the central theme of drama for centuries.

      Not in good shows. In good shows, characters have frank discussions and still pull stupid shit because of motivations.

      I feel like most of the people whining about this show are saying: “the characters dont’ act according to logic and sound reasoning. I think they are stupid people therefore I don’t like the show because they don’t act like I would like them to.”

      like… ok… if they did their would be no point/plot/drama. The point is that people aren’t logical and reasonable.

      I really don’t get people who criticize a fictional property’s characters for not acting in accordance with the arbitrary rules of behavior they have in their heads.

      Yes, but usually poorer drama. Misconceptions and misunderstanding happens in real life. When it feels contrived,.it loses impact. Good writing can overcome it but some of the writing seemed like characters making poor choices, not because of any misunderstanding but rather the misunderstanding was created to make a motive.
